(2,165 posts)... but trying to litigate ten-year-old primary rules isn't going to win us the House this November. At some point, we have to move forward, especially since Bernie Sanders himself explicitly closed the book on this a long time ago.
When asked directly about the 2016 DNC drama, Bernie himself publicly stated that he didn't want to look backward, noting that it was useless to keep litigating the past. He consistently maintained that the real reason his campaign came up short was simply a matter of votes, pointing out that they just didn't win enough states.
If Bernie can move past 2016 to focus entirely on defeating the GOP, we should probably follow his lead. The rules have completely changed since then anyway. Let's keep our eyes on the upcoming election rather than fighting old primary battles. Let it go. It's time to move on.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
